Needing help on VOB file structure

[Darksoul71]

I´m currently experimenting with MiniDVDs.
I use DVDQuickbuilder to mux the recalculated MPEG2 movie stream and the original AC3 audio stream.
After this I split the big VOB in smaller chunks that fit to CDR.
Then I master these smaller VOBs with DVDQuickbuilder and burn them to CDR. Works fine !

Only problem here:
VOBSplit is pretty uncomfortable. You have always to select the range for each VOB. I haven´t found a VOB utility that is cabable of doing "automated" splitting.

I´m thinking of something like that for such a tool:
1) Opening up source VOB
2) Choosing CDR size
3) Choosing number of CDRs
4) Letting the tool split your VOB automaticly

So my question:
Is it enough to split a VOB file binary (by using 4k blocks) ?
Or are there any headers to correct when I´ve finished splitting ?

Writing such a tool is pretty straightforward but I don´t know too much about VOB structure. So this might be a question for Derrow or another DVD guru

Unfortunately the author of VOBUtil didn´t reply to my last e-mail. So I want to write a tool by my own in Delphi and release it under GPL afterwards.

What about vStrip ?
Here is the option to use (with the CLI version) :
-$P splits output-file(s) after P megabytes (1024KB chunks),

Give it a try, I haven't tested it yet.

There is also the vStrip GUI but I've never used it.

Hi Toff !

Thanks ! I´ll try it.

This would save me from messing around with VOB structure.

The new IFO mode in DVD Decrypter also lets you split the output into cd sized chunks. not sure if its of any use though!

@Lightning UK:
Thanx for answering !
No, I have to split a big 2-2,4 Gig VOB into smaller chunks like 690 MB. I´ve contacted Derrow and the new version of Ifoedit provides the function I need.

Thanks again to any1 !
